In this episode, as in all episodes of Season 2, only one Yes Girl takes on the challenge of saying Yes to learning social media management while the other becomes the resident expert or "know-it-all"! Yup, Claire says yes to ideally posting like a maniac & growing her account for two long weeks.

What this means is she tries her hand doing social media influencer tactics for that period, under the guidance of Akumu whose day job and hobby allow her to do this without too much agony.

The best part of this challenge is the addition of two guests - honorary Yes Boy and Girl - Max Vajra James and Maria Langat, who host a YouTube channel aptly named "Confused But Excited". 

Listen in as Claire, Max and Maria share their hopes, fears, trepidations and triumphs during this challenge and listen to Akumu's thoughts about social media in general and why everyone who's on them hopes or wants to thrive, why everyone should take the good and leave out the bad, what the day in the life of a social media manager looks like, and why social media management is an important skill to hone.
